laptop turns off after it get warms

[mach04]

I am facing this problem that after using the speakers of my laptop for more than 30 minutes, sometimes more than that, it gets quite warm and suddenly it turns off. It happens only after using the speakers, it has not been overclocked.
I have to wait until the speakers are cooled down and then I can turn it on again.
What should I do to prevent this ti happen?

You should try blowing out the cooling system, it is possible that the heatsink and fan built into the system has clogged up with dust bunnies preventing adequate cooling taking place.
Use compressed air through the vents to blow out any dust accumulation that might be in there.

my heart it feels a broken beat
Touched soul and hurt lay wounded deep
Brown eyes are lost afar and sleep

I agree, additionally a cooling base for the laptop with 2 fans may help also.

It's not your speakers getting hot - they don't really get hot. It's the other components getting toasty - cpu, video card, memory, hard drive.

Fan could be dead, but often you get a "fan malfunction" warning at startup. Though that may not be universally true.

Search your brand and model laptop and the word "fan" and see if there are any hits that might tell you the fan tends to die.

I agree with the above posters, its probably a fan issue and the machine is getting too warm.

I had a user use one of the laptop cooling bases for a week while we got a new fan assembly kit in for the machine, and that seemed to work. (It did make the laptop turn into a semi-desktop) but the person was able to work with the original machine, so it was a winner.

If you're running significant volume on the speakers, it could be that the audio output section is generating additional heat. If you can, get some external powered speakers, that will just plug into the headphone or line out jack, so the PC audio section doesn't have to work so hard. Or use headphones!

The audio chip will never get as hot as the other components generating heat.
